Critical reception
Template:Music ratings David Browne of Entertainment Weekly called Pussy Whipped "the first great riot-grrrl album".[3] The Guardian wrote that "Hanna is so enraged that words to fetching tunes like 'Hamster Baby' and 'Star-Bellied Boy' are transmuted to wild shrieks."[4]
Heather Phares of AllMusic said, "'Rebel Girl' is a manifesto just waiting to be discovered, and the rest of the album sees the band occasionally adding fun to their recipe for punk chaos."[5] In 2015, Spin placed Pussy Whipped at number 222 on its list of the "300 Best Albums of the Past 30 Years".[6] In 2016, Pitchfork placed it at number 10 on its list of the "50 Best Indie Rock Albums of the Pacific Northwest".[7] Rolling Stone included "Rebel Girl" on its list of the "Most Excellent Songs of Every Year Since 1967", a playlist assembled by the magazine in 2006 to celebrate its 1,000th issue (The version of "Rebel Girl" included here differs from the Joan Jett-produced single version).[8]
